  Speaker 1: Light FM on a Thursday morning. Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: thank you for having us on on this October the 8th.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You know, Christine, you were under the weather Monday and Tuesday,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and you missed it when John Legend came by.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Of course I did.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And I knew you were, like, you would never fake
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a sickness, but I knew you were really down for
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the count when on Monday you were like, I still
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: can't make it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I know I tried, right? I, like, was trying to rally.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I was in touch with you guys in the afternoon.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I'm saying I'm trying, I'm trying, but my body was just.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a good thing you rested. That's all that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: matters because you're feeling better now. Yeah. But that conversation
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I had with John Legend will be playing just after
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clock today. We had a great conversation about his
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: new music. We even got to go behind the scenes
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: with his home life. Nice. And life in bed.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Life in bed? Yes. Sounds good. Right about now.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: We don't dive into that personal level, but what happens
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with him and the family after at night when they're
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: winding down. Oh, okay. That kind of thing. Right. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: we'll have that conversation coming up just after seven. But
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you hit the ground running when you came back yesterday
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: because we had a busy day with Judy Torres here.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yes. Which was such a great interview, by the way.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: She's wonderful.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Go back on the iHeartRadio app and check it out.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: You can search Cubby and Christine. Our show is on demand.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: She was amazing.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Her memoir is No Reason to Cry. And she's
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: very open and honest. And she's been through a lot.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But she's so, so positive.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I just had so many messages from friends of mine
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that felt inspired by her.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: There's a reason she's a life coach. Yes.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: She really motivates you. Yeah. That was yesterday.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: At 10 o'clock, I left, but you did something else. Yes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: A friend of mine invited me to be on his podcast,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Matt DeFede. We've spoken to him, and I've quoted him
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a lot, Cubby, because he was my realtor, one of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the people working with me as a realtor, along with Judy.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And he's always had, I don't know, he's just like
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: one of those people with just great life advice. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: just feel like he gives really good guidance and helped
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: me through difficult times. Remember, I got a house. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: was unhappy with the house. I had to move again.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So he's been with me through a lot. But he
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: has a really, really fun podcast. We don't just talk
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: about real estate, even though we cover that. Just kind
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of life in general. All right. Life according to Matt
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is pretty fun.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So people can kind of get you behind the scenes
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in a way.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: They hear what your life is like.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: A bit, yeah. It's funny to be a guest on
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: someone else's show because you and I are used to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: doing the interviews.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're kind of being interviewed.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And now I realize, like, you know how you and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I will ask questions and we hope the person talks?
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to do that to Matt because sometimes
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I found I would just go, uh-huh.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And it's like, no, don't do that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Talk.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Talk, talk, talk.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: John Legend was like that. And you'll hear that just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: after seven. But Kristen gave me a bunch of questions
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for John Legend. And he just grabbed the mic and ran.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, and we like that. Yeah. It makes our
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: life easier.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he's so good. He's a wonderful entertainer, right?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Some people are just, I don't know. They just have it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: He's got it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So is your podcast, was it just recorded yesterday?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: We just recorded it yesterday. So they're going to edit.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And post it. And he has a co-host named Jen
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and she does a lot of animal rescue.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So we were talking about animals that are available, like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey, um, that are up for adoption. It
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: was just really nice.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And what's it called again?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it's Matt DeFede's podcast. Um, and I will get
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the title for you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And find it wherever you get your podcast.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I'll make sure to get it for you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: We're good. Uh, Guess what? Two pretty cool things. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: got them lined up. I got them ready to go.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: I need to tell you two things.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Covey and Christine's. Two pretty cool things. I did a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: cool thing about Coca-Cola putting out some new product in 2027.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And then I got a couple of text messages saying,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: did you hear about what they're doing for the holidays?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: A lot of Coca-Cola fans out there. Oh, yeah. Well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: they are putting out Holiday Creamery Vanilla. It'll be back
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: for the holidays this year. People are big fans of it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I've never tried it. It came out late last year.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's available in regular and zero sugar. Holiday Creamy Vanilla
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: from Coca-Cola. Lots of fans apparently. Again, never tried it,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but pretty cool if you're a Coca-Cola fan. What's your
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: cool thing?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for it?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: What?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Starbucks is coming back with that barista.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You got a coffee story?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I have a coffee story. You of all people?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I know a little too much. I seem to lean
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that way. But Starbucks has unveiled its 2026 Holiday Cup collection.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's really cute. People are losing their minds
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: on the Internet. The biggest buzz is around the return
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of of the wildly popular Barista Cup. Remember, it sold
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: out last year in a second.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I sure do.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Because each store had one or two. So that little
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: guy is back, but he's got matching tumblers, mugs, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: even a plush keychain. I'm looking at the stuff. It
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: does look really pretty. There's also a festive Christmas tree-shaped
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: cold cup, nostalgic holiday village collection inspired by Starbucks Seattle roots,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and a Winter Wonderland line, which is featuring icy blue
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: drinkware and shimmering accessories. It's pretty. Holiday merch is arriving
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: in Starbucks November 5th.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Does that mean you're going to run for it November 5th?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have it in me again.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: When did you do that last? Was it last month?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We just tried it for Snoopy.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: For Snoopy, right? Yes. You ran out in the middle
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of the show.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you have got to be there when Starbucks opens.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You have to line up and be there because they
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: apparently only get one or two of these guys. Right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You could be the 10th person in line.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and too bad.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And not guaranteed to get it. All right. Thank you, Christine.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: We're coming right back.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Next on Light FM. 106.7 Light FM. Good morning. It's Cubby, Christine,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: producer Kristen. And we're kind of going over this fall
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to-do list. Like, it's speeding along here, right? What is today?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: October 8th. Yeah. So it's time. It's time to put
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: out the pumpkins and the mums and all that kind
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of stuff. And yeah, we're just catching up. Like, what
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: have we done so far? Have we done our stuff?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Well, what should I, like, give me, name some things,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and I'll check them off and see if my family
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: has done them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Like, it's time to display Halloween decorations.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, we have a few out.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Very nice.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You, Kristen?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: No?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Not even on the door?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: No?
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I don't have mine out yet either. We could start
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: watching our scary movies.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I enjoy a good scary movie. I haven't really put
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: one on. Like, as a pic or anything.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But on TV, I've been channel surfing, and I've stopped
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: on one.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: There's one called Back Rooms. Eric and I just watched
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: over the weekend.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Back Rooms.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh. It's, like, one of those indie, like, obsession. This
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: year was, like, one of those smaller movies that are, like,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: really scary.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm writing it down. And really creepy. I'm writing it down.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So we've got some good stuff for you. It is
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: time for some pumpkin spice lattes.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I had one, I think, when it came out.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you did? Mm-hmm. Have you carved a pumpkin yet?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I think a little early.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Haven't carved, but we do have a couple of pumpkins,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: big and small, on our doorstep.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Have you chosen Halloween costumes for you and or the kids?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Not me, but the kids are good to go.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: What are they this year? Oh, gosh.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I knew you were going to ask that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: No, Naomi is, oh, gosh. And Coco is going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: kill me if she hears me saying this because I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: should know.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Pass will go to the next.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Do you want to come back?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll come back to that. Come back to that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Visit a haunted house, I know can do. Can you
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: guys do that?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It depends. They're kind of fun.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But I have to go to one that I know is,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If word is out that it's not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that scary from people, then I could probably handle it
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: because it's probably scary enough for me. Right. Does that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: make sense?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: If I hear one that is just five stars... The
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: scariest ever. I will go in there.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: The real intense ones and like where you can give
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: permission for like the actors to touch you and stuff.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think you were like sometimes people you wear
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a glow stick around their neck if if that's indicating
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: if you want to be touched. Yes. And in that case,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I want to be touched. Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: OK. Going on a hayride. I guess that would be
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you'd have to.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That kind of goes along with pumpkins.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And apple picking.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I want to do apple picking this weekend. I haven't
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: broken it to Eric yet, but yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: We'll do it Saturday before the rain comes in on Sunday. Oh, wait.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Sunday was the day I wanted to go.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you're fine in the morning. But then
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: three or four o'clock is that remnants of the hurricane.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: He's a drummer.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: He doesn't get up till five or four o'clock.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Four or five.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And oh, yeah. Start stocking up on your Halloween candy. Like,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: what are you going to pass out this year?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, see, we have some bags. You do? But we
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't get many trick-or-treaters. But we do have bags just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: in case we get a ding-dong.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I would have it on standby. But I'm really proud
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: of you, Cubby, because I think you did a very
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: important fall thing that is not on this official list yesterday.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was waiting for.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: No, it's not here.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I cleaned out the shed yesterday. Look at that. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I put all the fall gear out and put all
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the summer stuff in the shed. Lovely. And I thought
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that that was going to be on the list for sure.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But it was more just... Halloween theme.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: No, that was more like dad jobs. That's a different list.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: No, I got everything in the shed. That's so great.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Have you ever opened up a door or a closet
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and you thought, I need to do just a couple
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of things, and then you go into a rabbit hole
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: where everything comes out and it becomes a project? I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: love that. But you went in there not preparing for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a project.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But you did it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But I did.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: And then it feels so good.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So will you put clean the shed out on that list?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Like I said, that's going to be the dad fall list.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, what are you guys doing? Are you
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: checking the smoke alarms?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: You know, making sure there's not dust behind the fridge.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What do dads do?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: The list you did was a fun list.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did the fun list.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: We're coming right back. Light FM.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: All right, quick clarification there, Christine. It's Light FM. My
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: wife has texted me and reminded me that Naomi's going
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to be roomie from K-pop Demon Hunters. Oh, okay. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought that, but she dressed up like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that last year, and I thought she was kind of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: over the K-pop thing.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: She's not.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But she's not, so it's roomie. So thank you for
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the text to my wife. I forgot what Miles is
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: going to be, but there we go.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: We'll wait for another text, Coco. Yes. is Miles going
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to be for Halloween, please?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, Light FM is on. We're talking everything today.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: We're talking Halloween. We're talking fall things. We're talking finance now.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking cars.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you got?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Financing cars. Well, you know, we hit a new high
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: as to how much people are paying to... to have
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: cars now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So this might be a bummer, but it's just a fact.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But it's just there. The average amount financed is over $ 45, 000.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: So our monthly payments are now $ 787.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And we are stretching them out over a longer period
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of time. We're taking longer loans to keep the monthly lower,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: but then over time you're paying more because of the interest.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Interest. Hate it. I'm very excited because December will be
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the end of my five-year car payments, and I've never
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: made it this far. I've always bailed, and I get bored.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So three years in, I'll trade in a car, get
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the value back, and put it towards a new car, whatever.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And my wife's like, no, you are driving this to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the ground. I want all the wheels to fall off
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: before you get a new car. So look for me
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: on the turnpike. In about a year, when all four tires.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Just roll off Yeah, you should be good. You should
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: be good for a while. It's a nice feeling to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: not have that car payment.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm actually excited I'm not bored yet, because
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I really do get bored with certain cars, and just
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the technology changes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: You like tech.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And I like tech, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've been
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: pretty happy with what I have.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: What about the... Are you resisting the iPhone, or are
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you going to go for that foldable?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I have a rule. Every two years, I'll get a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: new iPhone. Okay, where are we at? I used to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: do it every year, and so I'm skipping this year
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: because I got the iPhone... 17 last year. Okay, so
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: i'm skipping this year. How about you? Well, you actually
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I know you you go back like several years of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: your phone, right?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate giving it up because once you switch
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: over and I get logged out of everything I can't
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: ever get back into an app to save my life.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But I will say They have made it easier seriously,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I you pretty much get your old phone and You
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: will get the new phone out and your new phone
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: will scan Your old phone. Yes And it'll put everything
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: in almost automatically. It's a lot better.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Will it let me back in? Because last time it
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: did not. I was out of Instagram, Facebook. It was
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a thing. I just can't go through it again.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And that's why you still have the iPhone 7.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Exactly. And I'll never let it go. I'll never let
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: it go.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: All right. We got the headlines coming up next. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: our conversation with John Legend. You were under the weather
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but John Legend stopped by. We'll play that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: interview coming up after 7 in addition to what else, Christine?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Well, like you said, important headlines. And also, why do
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: football players pat each other on the butt?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Inquiring minds want to know.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: 659, Christine has everything you need to know. Good morning, Christine.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, good morning, Cubby. Yes, the Yanks are done for
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the season. I'm just going to mention that and then
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: move on.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: You're trying to be easy on the fans.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: I am.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like we already know, but just in case
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: you didn't, there we are. Isaias is a Category 1 hurricane.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: It's approaching the Gulf Coast. Forecasters think it could have
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: winds of up to 100 miles per hour, and right
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: now it's looking to make landfall somewhere between New Orleans
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and Panama City later this week. My understanding is we
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: could feel the effects of it mainly on Sunday.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You are correct.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: According to Paul Covey Bryant, our weather forecaster.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I just made you one.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I have the TV on.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: There you go. FAA says a flight from Madrid to
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Dallas forced to divert here to New York after a
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: majority of the plane's toilets stopped working. The pilot said...
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: We only have two potties operating on board for American 37.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So 300 people, 10-hour flight, only two working toilets. You
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: do the math.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You got to land.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: They decided to land. Yes, I think that was probably
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the best idea for everybody involved. Powerball jackpot is up
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to $ 500 million because nobody matched the numbers last night.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Circling back around to sports, Yankees lost to the Rays
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: 4-3 in Game 3. So their playoff run has come
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to an end. WNBA Liberty lost to the Atlanta Dream 101-98.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: That was game two. Tonight we've got football. Buccaneers are
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: playing the Cowboys at 8-15. And we have to do
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: our picks because I think Producer Kristen's in on that one.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You are correct. We've got to get our picks in. Interesting.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: We're all alive in our survivor pool, but one wrong
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: move and someone's out.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And when it comes to football, why do players pat
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: each other on the butt?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Feels good.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Is that why? Research has established that members of high-performing
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: teams touch each other more than those on other teams.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: And one theory is that it is the key release
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of the hormone oxytocin, which creates strong bonds between the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: team members.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, Christine, Bernie Williams is going to be
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: here tomorrow.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: That's going to be our first question. You ask him.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Former Yankee. Yes, I know.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM with Cubby and Christine in the morning.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Christine is off today. My co-host is sick today. She's very,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: very upset, John Legend.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I need a new co-host.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: You're it. John Legend's here. Welcome back to the friendly
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: confines of 106.7 Light FM. It's been a hot minute.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: We were just talking before the interview started. I first
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: met you in 2004. Ordinary People, your first single, wasn't
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: even out yet. And you came and performed for a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: bunch of DJs when I was working at Z100 to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: showcase your stuff. And man, how far you've come. Do
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you remember that moment? I remember it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: I remember the president of the label or head of
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: promotions at the label, he would take me around to
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: these radio stations. And I would just, you know, let
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: people know what I was working on. And I was
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: trying to be heard. I was trying to get my
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: music out there. And I think the album wasn't even
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: out yet. But I was like, hey, I'll do what
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: I need to do to make sure the music gets out. And,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: you know, we've still got to go out there and
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: let people know that the music is coming out. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited that we've got a new project. It's
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: called Muse, produced by Pharrell Williams. And I'm so proud
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: of what we've made.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And tell me all the people that inspired you for
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: this album.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, we talked about Nina Simone. We talked about Nat
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: King Cole. We talked about Marvin Gaye. We talked about
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Frank Sinatra. So there's some elements of those kind of
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: classics and standards. And then we wanted to do all
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: that with kind of a hip-hop foundation.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So 808 Beats, hip-hop drums. Right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And reading also the songs on Muse, they kind of
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: follow an imagined relationship through attraction, commitment, and betrayal.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: We wanted to make it kind of cinematic, so the
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: storytelling is really interesting. And being married with children.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And not the TV show, you yourself.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Being married with children. Love and marriage. How did that
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: affect the writing?
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, we tried to, like, not make it
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: about ourselves, because both Pharrell and I are married with
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: four kids each.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: We have one thing in common with kids, by the way.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: We both have a son named Miles.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool. Yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's a great name.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: And so we wanted to like write a character that
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: wasn't either of our wives, but just that kind of existed.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Out in the world.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like, we wanted it to be kind
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: of cinematic. And so that's really what the storytelling's like
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: in the album.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Well, John, I gotta tell you, you've collaborated with everybody
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: from Lauryn Hill back in the day, Andre 3000.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: To Common, Jay-Z, Sam Smith, The Roots. Is there a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: dream collaboration out there that you'd be completely geeking out
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: over if it happened?
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I was just asked that in my last interview. My
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: answers will be the same. Well, you know a different demographic.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I said I'd love to work with Kendrick Lamar. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: said I'd love to work with Olivia Dean.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: That'd be great.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we have a surprise for you. Olivia Dean, come
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on in.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: How cool would that be.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: If she walked in right now?
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: That would be... The planning would be impeccable.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Now, you've played piano. You've sung with some of the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: biggest artists in the world. You've won a bunch of
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: awards and performed for huge audiences. But what is, like,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the one thing in your life, with your wife especially,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Chrissy Teigen, what would she say you're absolutely terrible at? Like,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you're so good at everything. What would Chrissy say, you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: know what, you're not good at that, John Legend?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Well, see, there's some things you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I know what my answer is.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Want to not be good at so you don't get
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: asked to do it all the time?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Are you good at listening?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: You're like, oh, I'm terrible at doing the dishes. Oh, no,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I can't do the dishes.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: But do you ever get yelled at for not listening? No.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: She believes I listen, I think.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: I have to, like, Because sometimes she's on her phone,
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, hey, hello, hello.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, so she's in a zone on the phone. What
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is a typical night with you guys? Are you on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: your phones in bed before you go to bed?
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: We like to watch shows together, so we like to
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: watch true crime documentaries, reality shows. We like 90 Day Fiance. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: We like to watch TV that is comment worthy, so
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: we can sit and talk about it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: That's our boy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: We like to roast whatever we're watching uh so we're
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: like making jokes to each other and and uh yeah
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: that's a big part of how we like after the
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: kids go to bed.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: That was my question when do the kids go to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: bed how much.

  Speaker 2: and Food Festival Saturday, October 17th or Sunday, October 18th.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It's sponsored by Jeep. There's only one. You are in.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: You've got your tickets. Congratulations.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: We thought now would be a good time to do
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: our Survivor Pool picks because actually producer Kristen is picking
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a game.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. She's going for it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And for those that don't know how NFL Survivor
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Pool works, it's simple. You have to pick one NFL
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: team each week. Once you pick that team, you can't
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: pick that team ever again. And they have to win.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: If they lose, you are out. And we are all
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: now at pretty much sudden death.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: If one of us misses a game this week or
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: if all of us, we're out. Does that make you nervous,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: or does the music make you nervous?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: The music is always, yeah. It's my heart racing.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: So dramatic. It really is. This is what they use
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: on ESPN when they're doing highlights of the NFL games.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That's why I like it. So anyway.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: It does feel a little stressful, though.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You want to go first, Christine?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: With my pick, or with Producer Kristen's?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: No, you. I want to hear what you picked, because
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I know you pick animals all the time.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, and I'm going to go against that
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: this week. And it didn't serve me well last time,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: but here I go. I'm going to choose the Commanders
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: over the Giants. Sorry, New York. Commanders over the Giants.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Okay. It was last week you picked the Jets over
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the Bears, I believe.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I picked the Bears over the Jets.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Bears over Jets, and you got that right. You
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: went against the New York team, and it paid off. Right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: So you're going against the New York team again. It'll
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: pay off.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But it's not an animal.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: But okay.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Right. Okay.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So producer Kristen, what did she pick?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: She's got tonight's game. She's choosing the Cowboys over the Buccaneers.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: All right. Good pick. Good pick. And I, I'm going
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to go with, this is a crazy pick. There's two
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: teams in the NFL playing against each other and they're winless.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: That would be the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I was looking at that one too.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Which one are you going to go with?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: They're both 0-4.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And I think Houston is a tick better, like maybe
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: one notch better than the Titans. I predict Houston Texans
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: over the Tennessee Titans. Okay. And there you go. We'll
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: see what happens. On Monday, we'll reassess this and see
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: who wins or loses. But it's very possible.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: We'll know for Kristen tomorrow, too.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. You might be out. So we might
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: get breakfast from Kristen tomorrow. Yeah, we could. Are you nervous, Kristen?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, she doesn't feel well. She may not be coming in.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: She's coughing already. She might not come in tomorrow. Right, right.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we've got three hours commercial-free music. It's Light FM.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And don't forget, tomorrow morning at this exact time, Bernie
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Williams will be live in studio from the Yankees.
